Sure? I killed my U2 with / starting at 0 when I updated silo.

I had to reinstall, and now the partition begins at 0, and I had no
trouble anymore.

AFAIK, starting at cyl 0 is correct.

It is.  I offer as proof a partition map from one of my Ultra 5's:

Disk /dev/hda (Sun disk label): 16 heads, 63 sectors, 17660 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes

  Device Flag    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1             0       992    499968   83  Linux native
/dev/hda2  u        992      1984    499968   82  Linux swap
